Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pig farming technology, specifically to a drinking trough with a flow effect. Background Technology
[0002] With the gradual development of the pig farming industry, large-scale and professional pig farming is emerging in various regions. When feeding pigs, water troughs must be provided in the pigsty. However, currently, the water troughs used for pig farming are directly exposed to the air, making them susceptible to external environmental influences and causing drinking water pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to change the water and clean the water troughs frequently. Traditional water troughs are mostly stagnant water troughs, which have long had the following problems:
[0003] Low willingness to drink water: Still water cannot attract pigs to drink actively, resulting in insufficient daily water intake (especially in summer), which affects growth and health.
[0004] Rapid water pollution: When pigs drink, leftover feed residue in their mouths easily falls into the water trough, where it accumulates, molds, and bacteria, leading to diseases such as diarrhea in the pig herd.
[0005] Existing technologies attempt to create flow effects using simple water pumps, but these methods suffer from problems such as unidirectional water flow, weak fluctuations, and incomplete filtration of residues. Utility Model Content
[0006] Therefore, this application provides a drinking trough with a flow effect to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A drinking trough with a flowing effect, comprising:
[0009] The water tank body has a wave conveying mechanism installed on its inner side. One end of the wave conveying mechanism is connected to the output end of a drive motor installed on the outer side of the water tank body to drive the water body to flow.
[0010] The upper side of the wave conveying mechanism is provided with a filter screen that is also installed inside the water tank body. The filter screens are installed at equal intervals inside the water tank body, and a protruding mechanism is fixed between adjacent filter screens to guide the water to generate waves.
[0011] The wave conveying mechanism includes a mounting rod, on the outside of which are mounted a plurality of first auger blades. A second auger blade is mounted between each group of first auger blades, and the spiral direction of the second auger blade is opposite to that of the first auger blade.
[0012] Optionally, the radius of the second auger blade is smaller than that of the first auger blade.
[0013] Optionally, the protrusion mechanism includes a connecting block, and a protrusion baffle is installed on the outer side of the connecting block.
[0014] Optionally, the longitudinal section of the connecting block is V-shaped.
[0015] Optionally, a fixing block fixed inside the water tank body is also provided on the outside of the wave conveying mechanism, and a brush is installed on the side of the fixing block facing the wave conveying mechanism.
[0016] Optionally, the brush is fitted to the outer side of the wave conveying mechanism.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The wave conveying mechanism adopts a combination of positive and negative spirals to break the unidirectional flow and generate a strong wave water flow, which significantly enhances the attraction to pigs. The V-shaped connecting block of the protruding mechanism and the protruding baffle form a stepped water-blocking structure, further amplifying the undulation of the water body and simulating the state of a stream.
[0019] 2. The filter screens are evenly spaced to intercept feed residue; together with the flow guide gap of the V-shaped connecting block, the residue is directed to the bottom of the tank. The wave conveying mechanism is linked to the drive motor to automatically discharge the residue from the bottom opening of the installation side plate, preventing accumulation and mold.

[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] The present invention provides a drinking trough with a flow effect, including a trough body 1, a wave conveying mechanism 7 is provided on the inner side of the trough body 1, one end of the wave conveying mechanism 7 is connected to the output end of a drive motor 2 installed on the outer side of the trough body 1, so that the drive motor 2 can drive the wave conveying mechanism 7 to rotate and drive the water in the trough body 1 to flow.
[0029] The upper side of the wave conveying mechanism 7 is equipped with a filter screen 5 that is also installed inside the water tank body 1. The filter screens 5 are installed at equal intervals inside the water tank body 1, and a protruding mechanism 6 is fixed between adjacent filter screens 5, so that the water body can more easily generate waves when passing through the protruding mechanism 6, thereby simulating the state of water flow fluctuation, and the flowing water body is more likely to attract pigs to drink.
[0030] The wave conveying mechanism 7 includes a mounting rod 701. Several first auger blades 702 are mounted on the outer side of the mounting rod 701. A second auger blade 703 is mounted between each group of first auger blades 702. The spiral direction of the second auger blades 703 is opposite to that of the first auger blades 702, so that when the first auger blades 702 are conveying water, the second auger blades 703 can generate water flow in the opposite direction, thus making it easier to generate water waves. The radius of the second auger blades 703 is smaller than that of the first auger blades 702 to avoid the second auger blades 703 having the same conveying capacity as the first auger blades 702, which would affect the water flow.
[0031] The protruding mechanism 6 includes a connecting block 601, and a protruding baffle 602 is installed on the outside of the connecting block 601. The longitudinal section of the connecting block 601 is "V" shaped, so that the highest horizontal plane of the protruding baffle 602 is higher than the plane of the filter screen 5, which facilitates the generation of resistance when the water flows, thereby generating water flow ripples.
[0032] Specifically, when pigs drink water after eating feed, the food residue left in their mouths is easily washed into the water tank body 1. The filter screen 5 can filter the food residue and guide it to the bottom of the water tank body 1 through the gap between the connecting block 601 and the raised baffle 602. Then, when the wave conveying mechanism 7 is transported, it is discharged from the lower opening of the mounting side plate 3, thus preventing the water from deteriorating due to mold or other reasons.
[0033] A fixing block 8 is also provided on the outside of the wave conveying mechanism 7 and fixed inside the water tank body 1. A brush 9 is installed on the side of the fixing block 8 facing the wave conveying mechanism 7. The brush 9 and the outside of the wave conveying mechanism 7 are fitted together, so that the brush 9 can clean the scale that may be generated on the outside of the wave conveying mechanism 7 during rotation. At the same time, the wave conveying mechanism 7 can be cleaned during rotation, reducing the possibility of dirt being generated on the brush 9 and the outside of the wave conveying mechanism 7, thereby reducing the possibility of diseases in pigs from drinking water.
[0034] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
